Deftly written by Mark Fissel (Professor of History at Augusta State University) and part of the Routledge "Warfare and History" series, English Warfare 1511-1642 is a scholarly, college-level analysis of military operations from the reign of Henry VIII to the start of the Civil War. Manuscript sources are the primary reference for reconstructing military expeditions, such as Henry VIII's battles in France, Scotland, and Ireland, and Elizabeth I's interventions after 1572. No detail is left unexamined of this fascinating and deadly era. English Warfare 1511-1642 is highly recommended for anyone with a serious interest in British military history.

I have and still enjoy this book. This book is interesting, stick with it, it's fun to read. You can always go back for help with a subject that you don't understand. I don't know if the authors wrote a second book.

Can't wait to see this one. Lilla and Dworkin is like a collaboration between Ken Vandermark and Wynton Marsalis.

John Charles Ryle was a rare man - an evangelical Bishop of the Church of England in England in the last half of the 19th Century. Disrali made him Bishop of Liverpool as a last act of defiance as British Prime Minister.

Ryle was an amazing man whose many books are continually being republished for the next generation. His Expository Thoughts on the Gospels are all the work of a first rate mind - a man who communicates that which he loves so well - Jesus Christ. Of all his writings his passion for Jesus burns most brightly through these Expository Thoughts on the Gospels. Mark's Gospel is no exception. Originally bundled together with Matthew's in Ryle's writings, this recent publication takes the relevent parts for this short Gospel.

Buy his one, then buy the rest.

This books is a seminial survey text of Southern politics. All of the Southern states are analyzed individually by various authors. Also, Oklahoma is included as a border state where Professors Keith Gaddie and Scott Buchanan have an interesting argument as to why the Sooner State should be considered nominally Southern. Overall, a great book that focuses on the the Republican growth of the region. We also see how religion is beginning to play an important role along with race in the realignment of white voters at varying stages in all of the South.

Louis Zukofsky imbued criticism with the grace of his poetry. He believed that poetry was not a gesture to be revered, but a crystalization of experience, individual and general. Thus his criticism of poetry judges it against vital standards, with reference to philosophy and history, but without reference to critical fashion. The academic formulae which remove poetry from experience to convention are absent from this book: a great writer who takes pains to be an acute reader tells us what sustains him, and can sustain us.

The language of invention, of discovery must always seem strange at first, but time has brought us closer to these original explorations of sincerity in poetry. Zukofsky wrote about his contemporaries as they appeared, and helped many of them to appear. He was there. If you want to know what poetry can do, unfettered by prejudice, you can find it here. I urge you to. Prepositions, in conjuction with his poetry, can change and illuminate how you see, feel, hear, think.

I know three of the medical doctors (All members of the Osler Society) who assembled these choice selections uttered and (mostly) penned by Sir William Osler . . who seems to have felt strongly on only one controversial subject = that men seldom did any worthwhile creative work after age 40 and would do well to be "chloroformed" at age 60. Sir William died at age 70. The term "Internal Medicine" was coined in German-speaking Europe during Sir William's post-graduate training years there and he established the definition of the "specialty" at Johns Hopkins. The "specialty" has now out-lived its usefulness but our reverence for the man who contributed more than any other to the art and science of patient care obviously is being passed along to many young men and women who choose to be REAL PHYSICIANS.

I picked this off the bookshelf at a bookshop and it is certainly one of the better books I have come across to help oneself work out onefs soul purpose in life. This slim volume doesnft go into specifics of which path to follow, but through various exercises and examples of other people, leads you to discover what are your strengths and weaknesses. Using this as a base and through meditation and further exercises you can find what feels right for you. It does not necessarily mean finding the perfect job, but finding something in your life that fulfils you. One point that is not often dealt with by other similar books is that finding meaning in our own lives should not be self-centered: we should also include some form of service to others. Most of all, finding fulfillment does not mean we must all be high achievers and have some visible form of success. We can each find meaning and fulfillment in our lives by living our soulfs purpose, which is unique to each and everyone and which in turn complements that of those around us.

This is a superb text whose editors have done yeoman duty coalescing the work of the best scientists in the field. The articles within this tome are remarkably accessible to the layperson, such as myself, keenly interested in astronomy, its history, and its current research. The authors of the articles in this encyclopedic work have exercised commendable care in documenting their sources, back to and including Galileo's pioneering work to discover that, contrary to the doctrine of the time, the Sun's disc isn't free of "blemishes." This is the first work (of many) I've studied which made crystal-clear how the variation in sunspot paths across the disc during the year served to support some conjectures and refute others concerning the Sun.

Interesting depiction of Darwin, Cap. Fitzroy and the indian Jemmy Button.
Also you will find the most primitive tribes and the most courageous and resolute missionaries.
It is possible to find a lot of things in this history: abnegation and faith, adventure and hope, but also emotions and sadness... over all: reality!
